WASHINGTON — The Locked On Washington Football Team Podcast starts the week with news the team has released three players on Sunday: wide receiver Kelvin Harmon, cornerback Chris Miller, and running back Lamar Miller.
The cuts are some of the first made by the team as it heads into its second preseason game with the Cincinnati Bengals this Friday.
Chris and David react to the news and speculate about what it might mean for rookie running back Jaret Patterson.
The Washington Football Team also activated Curtis Samuel on Sunday. The second-round pick of the 2017 NFL Draft spent the last four seasons with the Carolina Panthers, furthering an even closer connection to Ron Rivera's former employer. Locked On discusses how much fans should expect to see of the veteran receiver and new addition this preseason?
Then, given the success that the New Orleans Saints had mixing in Taysom Hill with Drew Brees at quarterback due to the speed he brought to the position ... could there be a similar mixture created by Scott Turner and Ron Rivera with Ryan Fitzpatrick and Taylor Heinicke?
Heinicke showed he has some wheels under him in last year's playoff game against Tampa Bay Bucs. Locked On WFT speculates why it might, or might not, work out.
